<b>Using accessibility shortcut keys in the Help Viewer</b>

The following keyboard shortcuts can be used for navigation in the HTML Help Viewer. The help author who builds a compiled help (.chm) file can specify which buttons appear on the Help Viewer toolbar, so some of these options may not be available in your version of the viewer.</p>
